Lesser Events
Took Place On
Christmas Day
Christmas is, above all else, the
day on which we recognize the
Nativity of Christ. It has been so
since the fourth century, when the
Western Church officially adopted
December 25th as the date of the
birth of the Saviour.
Since that time, this greatest of
all events has completely fore
shadowed every historical event
occurring on the same day. Ask
anyone to tell you of something
else In history that happened on
December 25th other than the
birth of Christ, and chances are
they will give you a negative an
swer. A few will remember that It was
on this same date that George
Washington crossed the Delaware.
Only a true student of history will
tell you that the date marks the
birthday of Isaac Newton, Clara
Barton and Frances Blake, among
others.
Actually, the fact that Washing
ton crossed the Delaware on
Christmas Is all the average
American should be expected to
remember. But, it's Interesting to
note some of the other events that
happened on the same day:
In 1837, the BatUe of Okeecho
bee. In 1941, Japanese captured Hong
Kong. I
In 1402, wreck of the Santa Ma-1
rla, at Haiti. ;
In 1928, Hlrohito became Empern
or of Japan. 1
It was also on Christmas day,
in 1947, that China's constitution
was adopted and went Into ef
fect, making the date China's Na
tional Renaissance Day. And,
Christmas Is also the birthday of
the town of Kelso, Washington, set
tled on Christmas day, 1847, by
Peter W. Crawford.
SANTO
COMES TO
KCEWCto
Just like most everyone else,
Saint Nick prospered after be
i came to America.
I In Europe, before he reached
I these shores, Saint Nick was a tall,
! angular man who rode a bony gray
! mare. He hadn't been in America
long, however, before be had a
new name, a new face, figure and
1 a new and better mode of trans-
portatlon.
The early English settlers In this
country started Santa's "new look"
process. They adopted the legend
ary figure from the Dutch, but
couldn't pronounce "Saint Nlcko
lous." The best they could do was
"Santa Kalouf," which was cor
rupted to "Santa Claus."
In 1809, Washington Irving In his
"Knickerbocker's History of New
York," changed Santa's physical
appearance by describing him as a
Jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed
hat and huge britches. He also
taught St. Nick to smoke a pipe,
and traded his bay burner for a
wagon.
Clement Moore In his famous
poem, "The Visit From Saint Nich
olas," went even further. He gave
Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes,
cheeks like roses, nose like a
cherry and a round little belly.
Future writers may try to trade
Prancer and Dancer off for a jet
ship and trim down Santa's waist
line. It will be a tough Job, for,
though he Isn't streamlined, Santa
pleases the young folks and that's
"lahty important
When we say "Thank
You" for past favors
it comes straight
from the heart
may you have a
Merry Christmas.

Elgin and Knappa
Add to Heppner's
Basketball Losses
By Jim Morris
ELGIN
Heppner high's hoopsters fell
victim for the third time in a row
Friday, December 14. Their con
querer was the Elgin Huskies by
a score of 41-38. The game was
a very exciting contest as it was
a hard fought contest all the
way.
The Huskies jumped to, an
early lead as they laced the
twine for 3 field goals and dump,
ed in two free throws for a 8-7
lead at the end of the first panel.
The Mustangs came back strong
in the second stanza to pot 9
points and take a 16-15 halftime
lead. '
After the half the Huskies
steadily hacked at the Mustang's
lead until they led 27-26 at the
beginning of the last period.
From here on the lead changed
hands until late in the fourth
period the Huskies- gained a 5
point lead. The Mustangs weren't
able to overcome this as they
went uown in deleat.
High scorer for the Mustangs
was Ruhl with 13. High for
Elgin was Miller with 15.
KNAPPA
The Knappa Loggers led by
their big center Bob "Pudgy"
Hunt, kept their victory string
rolling as they downed Heppner's
"missing" Mustangs, Saturday,
December 15, by a score of 49-34.
The loss was the fourth in a
row for the Mustangs who were
generally improved in their ball
handling, but weren't able to con
nect on their field goals as they
missed 45 times from the field.
It was commented that the Mus
tangs are improving raoidlv
and the season is still young.
The Mustangs' fought the Log
gers to a 10-8 first quarter score,
but weren't able to keep up the
pace as their defense faltered
and their shots started to "avoid
the bucket". This allowed the
Loggers to build up a 23-10 ad
vantage by halftime.
In the third period the Log
gers caught on fire and dumped
in 16 points to take their widest
lead of the evening, 39-14. The
never-quitting Mustangs poured
in 20 points in the last quadrant
in a last effort but the Knappa
lead proved to be to great as
they went on to victory.
High scorer for Heppner was
Ruhl with 8. High for Knappa
was Hunt with 23.

President Johnson
Issued Civil War
Amnesty On Dec. 25
Christmas is traditionally a day
of universal good will. Even in
times of war the battlefronts are
often quiet and serene, by mutual
consent, on Christmas Day.
It was also on December 25th,
in 1868, that President Johnson is
sued his Civil War amnesty. In an
attempt to heal the wounds left
by the great war, Johnson issued
an amnesty proclamation which
did not exclude any persons or
classes of persons not even the
highest officials of the Confeder-
, .mix
acy. Previous amnesty proclama
tions, issued both by Johnson and
his predecessor Lincoln had not
been "total" amnesties.
At the time, President Johnson
expressed the belief that universal
amnesty would tend to secure per
manent peace, order, and prosper
ity throughout the country and
would renew and restore respect
for and attachment to the nation
al government.
The proclamation pardoned all
persons who participated directly
or Indirectly against the United
States in the Civil War "with res
toration of all rights, privileges
and Immunities under the Consti
tution and the laws which have
also been made in pursuance
thereof."
NIGHT BEFORE XMAS

"Night Before Christmas" and
